Hi. I've been trying to find my Gr-grandmother's birth for a couple of years now, and have now run out of ideas on where to look. She was Anne Elizabeth Harris, the 4th child (of 7) of William & Mary Harris. Her 3 older brothers were all born, registered & baptised in Tideswell, Derbyshire in 1864, 1867 & 1869. Her 3 younger siblings were all born, registered & baptised in Barrow-in-Furness in 1874, 1876 & 1879. On Annie's marriage cer of 5-1889, her age is 19. This puts her birth about 1870-71. She, alone of all the children, does not appear to have been registered. And now, the family don't appear on the 1871 census on Ancestry, in Derbyshire, Lancashire or Yorkshire (on 1891 & 1901 censuses, Annie says she was b Settle) or anywhere else in England. I have come to the conclusion that the family weren't in England. Can anyone suggest where this family could have disappeared to for approx 4 years, please. Thanks Helen

I don't think I have spotted that one, thanks Elaine. I have copied all the Harris indices from 1868-1872, and I keep looking at them, but I think I missed that one. Helen
